West to east.

The earth is spinning on its own axis. Thus, the area of the equator directly hit by the sun's heat and more solar radiation compared to any other area. That same heat warmth the atmosphere. Warm air rises towards the pole which is cooler. This is the reason of constant movement of the atmosphere.

The Coriolis force governed the air flows towards the pole. While the earth is spinning plus the movement of air north or south, the air follows a curved path, toward the east.

The Earth’s internal "((HEAT))" source provides the energy for our dynamic planet, providing it with the driving force for on-going disastrous events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and for plate-tectonic motion.

Use Kepler’s third law and the orbital motion of Earth to determine the mass of the Sun. The average distance between Earth and

dexar [7]

Kepler’s
third law formula: T^2=4pi^2*r^3/(GM)

We’re trying to find M, so:

M=4pi^2*r^3/(G*T^2)

M=4pi^2*(1.496
× 10^11 m)^3/((6.674× 10^-11N*m^2/kg^2)*(365.26days)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))

Let’s work
with the units:

(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))=

=(m^3*kg^2)/(N*m^2*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/(N*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/((kg*m/s^2)*days^2)

=(kg)/(days^2/s^2)

=(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

So:

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

Now we need to convert days to seconds in order to cancel
them:

1 day=24 hours=24*60minutes=24*60*60s=86400s

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/((86400s)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(
86400^2*s^2)

M=1.48× 10^40kg/86400^2

M=1.98x10^30kg

The
closest answer is 1.99
× 10^30

(it may vary
a little with rounding – the difference is less than 1%)

Torque can be best described as which of the following? Give an example of both a force and a torque and explain why in a couple

kicyunya [14]

Answer: rotational force

Explanation:

Torque is the twisting force which cause rotation and the axis of rotation is the point at which the object rotates.

Torque is a rotational force as it leads to the rotation of an object about an axis. Force simply means a pull or push. When an unbalanced ball acts on a force, the ball, the ball will be moved towards the linear motion.

Then, the unbalanced force that is acting in the ball produces torque which causes the ball's rotational motion.
